Mosquito research · Dongguan, China
We study the mosquito.
Then we build what catches it.
Pittar is a mosquito research and manufacturing company. Since 2003 we have turned host-seeking science — carbon dioxide, body heat, moisture and UV light — into traps that importers, distributors and pest-control operators sell under their own label.

Prototype yard, Dongguan — every new housing runs here before release.

What we build
Three families. One engineering team.
Outdoor CO₂, outdoor solar, indoor UV. The mechanism changes with the site; the engineering discipline does not.

CO₂ traps
Outdoor CO₂ mosquito traps
Carbon dioxide, warmth and counter-flow suction for gardens, resorts, farms and municipal programmes. Cylinder or LPG generator.

Solar lamps
Solar mosquito lamps
Self-powered outdoor units that switch on at dusk. No wiring, no running cost, no insecticide.

UV electric
UV electric insect killers
Indoor phototaxis units with a high-voltage grid and a removable catch tray — for hotels, restaurants, food plants and homes.
The mechanism
How a Pittar trap works
A female mosquito looking for blood follows a chain of cues. Every model we build closes one link in that chain.
01
Breath
Carbon dioxide is the long-range cue. We meter the plume so it reads like a resting host, not a leaking cylinder.
02
Heat and moisture
A warm, humid surface holds the insect at the trap mouth long enough for the fan to take over.
03
Light
UV-A at 365 nm attracts the nocturnal species that ignore CO₂. Our lamps use the wavelength Aedes responds to.
04
Capture
Counter-flow suction pulls mosquitoes into a dry basket. No insecticide, no zap, no residue on the wall.
The science
Mosquitoes do not bite at random.
Host-seeking is a sequence: a plume of CO₂, a warm body, moisture, lactic acid, and a dark silhouette against a bright background. Remove one cue and the catch falls. Add the right cue at the right height and it climbs.
That is why we publish our reasoning, not only our specifications. Placement, species and season decide more of the result than wattage does.
- Species profiles for Aedes, Culex, Anopheles and Mansonia
- Trap siting notes for gardens, hotels and food plants
- What a catch number can — and cannot — tell you

Field yard, Dongguan. Catch baskets are counted at dawn.
OEM & ODM
Your label on the box. Our tooling behind it.
We manufacture for importers, distributors and pest-control brands. Bring a drawing, a competitor sample or a specification: we will tell you what is possible, what it costs and how long it takes.
Tooling & moulds
In-house mould shop for housings, trays and brackets. New geometry starts at the drawing stage, not at the catalogue.
Electronics
Ballasts, drivers, timers and solar charging circuits assembled and soak-tested on site.
Assembly & packing
Full assembly, retail cartons, manuals and barcodes to your artwork.
Compliance
CE documentation, test reports and label artwork prepared per market.

Assembly and test floor.
Manufacturing
Built, tested and packed in Dongguan.
Pittar has been making houseware and insect-control hardware in Dongguan since 2003. Six patents later, the same workshop still builds the tooling, winds the transformers and packs the cartons.
- Injection moulding, metal stamping and welding under one roof
- Electrical inspection and burn-in before packing
- Export packing for sea and air freight
- English-speaking engineering contact from sample to shipment
Before you write
Questions we get every week
Which trap suits my site?
Match the site before the model: a shaded garden with standing water needs CO₂ and suction; a hotel lobby needs silent UV; a fence line without power needs solar. Send us the layout and we shortlist two models.
Do your traps need CO₂?
Only the CO₂ family. The solar and UV ranges run without gas. Within the CO₂ range, cylinder and LPG-generator versions are both available.
What is the minimum order?
It depends on the model and how far the configuration moves from our standard. Trial quantities are possible for a first order; we confirm the exact minimum in writing before you commit.
Can we use our own brand?
Yes — housing colour, silkscreen, carton, manual and label are all part of the ODM/OEM service.
Range
Models in production
Ten platforms, each configurable for voltage, plug, housing colour and packaging.
